Are we friends or are we foes?
On and on the story goes
A war 4 drugs is what we live
4 coke and skag the soldiers give their
Souls, 4 mafia men they toil
Murdering the children upon foreign soil
To ease our fears they bring on the drugs
It's a sign of the times to ask "Where is the love?"

Economic abuse in its subtlest form
While they fuck up education, now the parents they warn
How the nonses are loose and the kids they aint safe
Must we all fall in their line?
Must we all stay in our place?
Fuck you and me, it's apathy
Pretending that they care U C
They'll steal you blind then rob your mind
While bending knees in prayer oh please.

When lonliness is haunting U
Who can U trust? Who can you turn 2?
When homes of fear with children near
Are built on greed and lust and tears
What matters most - the things that you boast
You don't own a fucking thing
The banks they do depend on you
Abandoned children, they do sing

You drop them there at that daycare
Do you know these people well?
You look down your nose while you suppose
The truth is it, they always tell?
So when you'r old, the truth is cold
They'll dump you into a nice home
And alone you'll stair into thin air
The tragic seeds that you have sown

I'm telling you, what you can do
One small event can change life's path
Just be there and show you care
Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy - do the maths
Children learn the life that they live
Do you share your time? Is it love that you give?
Open your mind to some brighter days
If it ain't crystal clear ... What can I say?

Crazy is as stupid does
Is it war you seek or peace and love?
Do you wanna know the truth? Will you speak your mind?
Can you remember back to human kind?
What goes up will always come down
Life is just a game, what goes must come around
My destiny is determined by me
If there's a fire in your heart - then we're gonna break free!

The churches the banks and the governments all
Mainly doomed through corruption
Most will certainly fall
Are we sheeple or people?
Are we slaves or FREE MEN?
The truth is out - it's all about
Can we start over again.

Cor! Truly moving, Mare. This illustrates the importance of "shining your light" and not "putting it under a basket": evil is racous and impudent, ever seeking an audience. Good, on the other hand, is often hidden or unnoticed. I wish that more truly good things were done so that we all could see them and marvel at the restorative powers of virtue and truth.
Do you?

Oh, they gave me paper and crayons today, so here is my poem:

I hid my love as I drove by
A vacant lot in Trenton;
But I was careful to remove
Some things I shouldn't mention.

To keep a mate, it seems of late
Is quite a troubled matter:
Instead of making love to her
I'd rather see her splatter.

I do not torture animals
I seldom wet my pants;
I love my neighbor as myself
If given half the chance.

My limbic matter cannot cope
With jealousy and pain,
At least that's what the doctor said
Before he shrunk my brain.

So now I'm shut up in a cage
The town is out of danger;
But I must caution those like me
Don't mix up sex with anger.

Sound like a dark time.. :-( .
Relationships donít usually go so smooth in this line of work.

Look
You will find
People tend kind
To their own peace of mind!

Why? We donít really know. But you will find this implausible and enigmatic behaviour to be all around. And it remains enigmatic. The solution remains a mystery and a fragmented debate, with no solution.

Thanks. We'll think on that for a while. Even in the best of all possible worlds, we still must tend our gardens (Candide).

One thing: do not take the battle with the dark minions lightly. Just as each side in a legal battle demand evidence and testimony, so the followers of Satan will tell you, "Do not boast of being superior unless you can demonstrate superiority."

That being said, they fight against people and use the weak human instrumentalities as weapons; God's Kingdom fights bondage or darkness to free those in its grip. The Shadows know that they could never fight God directly and win, so they come after you in the flesh. Remember your higher calling to battle with spiritual weapons, not carnal ones!

Hands flailing up in the air... pick me! pick me!

I know the answer.

Children want to please and be pleased by actions of love and beauty. It is our innate human nature. We are born good to be good.

No kid wants to be shouted at... they just want to be cuddled and made to feel safe and protected... not molested.

It is our human nature to be good. I really do not buy that due to Eve the whole race is sinning bastards. The churches may wish for me to believe that and fear death too. No sale.

I know what I believe. I know what my faith consists of:

1. God is good all the time. That is the nature of God - the meaning of God 4 me.
2. God lets the children of this planet learn for themselves as any good parent would do... with a little guidance from the past and a bit of divine intervention in the present.
3. Light will always illuminate darkness.
4. Evil is a creation of our own making within our minds developed from our own fears. It is real and it is doomed to be outshone by the light of truth.

I think the Bible is a book written by a bunch of corrupted greedy money lenders. They picked Jesus for the advertising. Prepare Christians to be crucified is how the good book goes. Accept the New World Order basically ... if you read between the lines.

Propaganda at its worst.

Faith is such a beautiful thing when combined with culture and heritage.

The tax free money grabbing Christian pricks with their oh so fancy buildings, lands and bank accounts need to jog on. Christ would have a lot to say about modern day Christianity I am certain. And I don't think he would be none to pleased. He came for the poor and the children and how do we as citizens of a first world nations treat our poor and the children? Let alone the oppressed peoples of other lands we bomb and starve indiscriminantly with every vote we elect another jack ass to rape and pillage....

Sorry... bit of a rant there.

My two cents and I love the poetry!!!!!!!!!
Very dark and very deep. Very moving.
